Design considerations for association studies of candidate genes in families.

Abstract excerpt

In genetic epidemiologic studies, investigators often use generalized linear models to evaluate the relationships between a disease trait and covariates, such as one or more candidate genes or an environmental exposure. Recently, attention has turned to study designs that mandate the inclusion of family members in addition to a proband. Standard models for analysis assume independent observations, which is...
